If you want free speech go yell about UFOs and gays on the public square where it's protected. Free speech doesn't mean people have to give you a platform. Your version of free speech would actually coerce other people into using their resources to propagate your speech, which doesn't sound free to me.

Arguing 4chan is a positive valuable place because they are good at making memes and organizing raids and harassment campaigns is also pretty funny.

Personal attacks aren't allowed on HN, regardless of how bad someone else's comment was, and will get your account banned on HN, so please don't do that.

Personal attacks are never called for, regardless of the thread. Please keep things civil, particularly when discussing free speech.
